San Carlos Hotel
The first schoolhouse in North central Phoenix - - a one-room, dirt-floored adobe building - - was constructed on this site in 1874. Expanded into a two-story brick structure in 1879, the Central School was enlarged several times before it closed in 1916.
Construction of the Italian-style San Carlos Hotel was begun in 1927 and completed in 1928. It originally included a penthouse, sun room, card rooms, ballroom and hand-operated elevators, and became a popular mid-town gathering spot for motion picture stars and other celebrities.
 
Erected by Phoenix Historic Preservation Commission.
